Your bedroom should be a place of relaxation and contemplation, not a place to stress or fret over your day. Creating luxurious space to come home to and wind down in each night should be a goal, and we have some of the best ideas to help you get started.
Even if you already have a comfortable area to sleep in, take a look at these awesome ideas to influence your bedroom area even further, and create something worth looking forward to each night. We’ve compiled a list of ideas and designs for both large and small spaces to help you imagine how you can incorporate it into your own bedroom.
1. Floor Level Bedding
Remember as a kid when you used to make forts and “nests” with blankets, pillows, and couch cushions? This tapped into a primal comfort and was always so warm and cozy. Create your own adult version with a floor level platform bed and load it with comfortable, luxurious pillows and bolsters.
2. Elaborate Headboards
A unique headboard can change the entire feel of your bedroom, and when you combine soft silks and velvets with color, you get something truly spectacular. Feel free to create your own headboard with various items, or find a decorator who knows how to bring your vision to life!

3. Silver Reflections
Silver and gold have always been symbolic of riches and comfort. Choose silver for a bright, reflective option that provides ways to seamlessly tie in colors, mirror, and even lighting choices that brighten the room even further. The color is also conducive to brightening your space, and helps reflect natural lighting – plus, true silver woven into materials can be beneficial to your health!
4. Lounging Areas
If you have a large bedroom and like to read, lounge, and talk to your significant other and prefer a place to sit and relax, consider sitting areas and lounging furniture to provide comfort and elegance to your space.
5. Floor to Ceiling Headboards
Nothing opens up a room more than long lengths, which can be easily obtained by a custom headboard that spans from ceiling to floor. When you add in mirrors, even small areas will look doubled, and provide the lighting and luxury you are seeking.
6. An Enchanted Space
Make your fantasies a reality with wall and floor decor to match your bedding and accessories and turn a plain room into something you can get lost in. This woodland, enchanted space reflects the great outdoors while being inviting and comforting due to the soft, warm hues that are used.

7. A Child’s Fantasy
Let your child’s fantasies come alive with unique bedding and fabulous interior design. This hot air balloon design is just one of many ideas you can help bring to life to make a sleeping area both exciting and inviting, and let your little ones slumber amongst the clouds.
8. Chandelier Lighting
Don’t shirk on bedroom lighting just because it is a private space that not many will see. No matter what height your ceiling is, you can find a chandelier that works for you to offer romantic lighting and decorative interest. High ceilings can take advantage of drop lighting solutions, but many options exist from which you can choose.
9. The Color of Royalty
Purple has long stood as a mark of royalty and wealth, and the many hues it holds can be easily incorporated into interior design to create a comforting, colorful space that works well with both gold and silver highlights, as well as the warmth of wooden accents.
10. Romantic Spaces
Draping materials, soft tones and colors, and rich embroideries all cumulate to create romantic spaces for rest and relaxation. Use subtle hues with soft whites to highlight their use without being overwhelming. Use a neutral background to help further highlight your choice of furniture, bedding, and color combinations.
11. 4-Poster Advantages
4-Poster beds are the epitome of luxury, and the design that once was created to help hold in warmth and provide privacy is now an excellent addition to provide the means to decorate in a fashion you prefer. Rich drapings that highlight colors and textures, as well as the means to create a more closed off and comfortable space to hide away in are great ways to take advantage of this design.
12. Back to Nature
If you love the great outdoors and find peace when there, why not extend that comfort to your living areas? Apply a minimalistic decor that highlights specific interests, such as the height of trees, the soft blending hues of a forest, the soft lights of early morning or late evening… create your own space that helps you drop off blissfully to sleep.
13. Finding Balance
When using bold colors, such as purple, consider the wide range of hues it comes in and determine if a softer option is better for your space. If you choose bold pops of color, add them throughout the room without allowing it to become overwhelming.
14. Attic Bedroom Spaces
Don’t avoid turning smaller, tucked away spaces away as a possible bedroom choice. Attic rooms can often be used as a very private, comforting spot and often have unique natural lighting solutions. Don’t overwhelm a small space with furniture, rather make the bed a focal point and take advantage of wall space to help provide depth. Inset fireplaces, fish tanks, and even recessed lighting can open up a small room.
15. Lighting Advantages
Both natural and artificial lighting can be manipulated to your advantage. Large windows may take up wall space, but use it to provide a luxurious waterfall of drapery, and to highlight your wall decor during the day. Lighting additions along recesses, ceilings, and bedside tables help illuminate your bedroom during various times of the day to provide the effect you desire.
16. Modern Meets Comfort
Modern doesn’t have to be all black and white and sharp, contrasting textures and shapes. Soften a modern look using contemporary touches surrounded by light colors, rich metallic details, and art deco designs in lighting and wall art.
17. City Oasis
Create an oasis amongst urban sprawl using soft, neutral color pallets and naturesque textures to help contrast the stark, modern reality of the view. Focus on comfort and interior design that influences peace and calming. You may even want to incorporate the ancient art of Feng Shui into your space.

18. Vaulted Ceilings
Often, vaulted ceilings become wasted space, when in fact – you can easily incorporate it into your bedroom vision with ease. If beams are exposed, avoid painting them all one color, and take advantage of natural wood, or paint them to become a decorative touch. Also, use lighting that takes advantage of the space, such as soft recessed LEDs and dropped chandeliers or other types of hanging lighting.
19. Subtle Hues
Sometimes choosing a very specific, uniform color palette will work to your advantage, especially if you have a very large, or very small space to decorate. Lighter colors, such as a warm white and lighter creams and yellows are easy to work with and can help take full advantage of low lighting sources and open up the space to make it look larger.

20. Mirror Images
Mirror placement is an art all in itself, and can truly change the overall look and feel of a bedroom space. They allow you to make a room look physically larger, take advantage of natural and artificial lighting sources, and provide you with a simple decorative solution.
21. Open Floor Plans
Just because you have the space, that doesn’t mean you need to fill it with furniture. Embrace an open floor plan with carefully placed furniture that provides areas of relaxation and comfort, keep your colors muted with touches of brightness if desired, and use large statement pieces for wall decor instead of clusters of smaller art.
22. A Touch of Gold
Metallic hues are popular additions to highlight a more luxurious look, but it can easily overwhelm a space if not used correctly in the decorating scheme. Use the warmth of gold to touch up specific details within the room, such as lines of trim, small decorative touches, art framing, and window treatments alongside more neutral hues to make it pop without dominating.
23. All in the Details
Sometimes when you really love a certain texture or look, it can be very easy to go completely overboard. You don’t truly want to load up on dozens of pillows, stacks of blankets, or anything else that might end up looking like clutter – rather than comfort. Faux fur in particular can get a bad reputation for this very reason, but it makes an excellent detailing opinion when used sparingly!
24. A Space to Sit
If you enjoy watching television in your bedroom, try to avoid doing so from your bed. You want you body to wholly recognize sleep as a means to turn off your body both physically and mentally for a proper sleep. When you fall asleep in your bed watching television, your brain is still processing light and sounds – but if you catch yourself drifting off while sitting, you are more likely to put yourself to bed properly.
Conclusion
When you are searching for ways to add comfort and luxury to your bedroom space, these simple ideas and tips are all worth considering to help inspire you in your interior design plans. From large spaces to small spaces, budget jobs, or minimized details, these are all awesome ways to help get your creative juices flowing!
